Medtronic Gets Positive Data for MRI Pacing System
Initial safety and efficacy data for Medtronic’s investigational EnRhythm MRI SureScan Pacing System show promise for patients receiving their first pacemaker who need an MRI scan, according to a company statement.
Results showed no MRI-related complications and no arrhythmia or absence of electrical activity in the heart during MRI scans conducted on patients.
The study met endpoints showing that the heart responded appropriately to the level of electrical stimulation it received from the device. A small number of patients experienced complications consistent with rates for other pacemaker implant procedures, but none was related to the MRI technology, Medtronic says.
